Mine sits at 3,000rpm 1.4 n/a though.derkie54 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2017 12:57 pm "Think I read that smaller engines with a turbo generally make more emissions and get worse mpg because they have to work harder to maintain normal speeds eg 70mph on a motorway it would sit 4,000rpm or so verses 2000rpm of a 2 litre "
My 1.0 TSI does about 2,250 rpm at 70 mph
I forget what exactly i read about emissions and small engines but it was linked the release of vw's new 1.5 tsi engine and how engine sizes will begin to get bigger now.RUM4MO wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2017 3:36 pm Yes, exactly, these modern TSI engines, even the slightly older 1.2TSI do hand out the goods even at low revs, so RPM at cruising is low. I think the need for having small turbo charged petrol engines, currently, does come from emissions and it will be the sorts of emissions that a new breed of particulate filter has been developed to get rid of as well as other forms of emissions that the next phase of Euro regs will throw at petrol engines.
Also the more I see this new polo the more I think I want one bad time for having just swapped car would love to know more about the engine of the gti and what it's getting spec wise on would it could be made to run remapped etc
